DuLilith Fest: Fostering Community in a Divided World
As the rain poured down, attendees of DuLilith Fest huddled closer, umbrellas came up and the bands played on. Community spaces where people can gather freely and safely feel like they are becoming few and far between, fostering social isolation in place of community. DuLilith Fest is one group that is trying to change that norm.

Few Minnesotans Know a Restored 1920s Movie Palace Still Shows Films in Downtown Duluth
Warmed cashews and a steep Art Deco balcony are not what most people expect from a downtown block in northern Minnesota. Yet that pairing exists inside a restored historic theater that plenty of folks simply drive past. I like how the place mixes eras. Classic movies have shared the calendar...
